In-Depth Information
cabin accommodation is great value, set in the gardens with large terraces, sea views and
plenty of storage space. The dorms are straightforward and clean with lockers, while the
communal breakfast of rolls with cream cheese or jams and homemade cake is better than
most. Internet costs €3 per hour.

Superb hotel on the main street, with the colour scheme
of the rooms varying between brilliant canary yellow to deep Mediterranean blue. All
have good-sized bathrooms with tubs, as well as showers, and private terraces. Note that a
sea view will cost €20 more. The satellite TV here is a rare treat in these parts, and a ma-
jor plus if you are suffering from international news withdrawal.

The perks of this family-run place include the position, right on the town's vibrant main
square, and the vast old-fashioned front terrace with its plants, vines and congenial grand-
dad, who has his own seat in the corner. The rooms are simply furnished but clean with
jaunty red shutters. Prices are very reasonable, even during the silly season (August).

Situated on the outskirts of town coming from Santa
Maria di Castellabate, this welcoming

house is surrounded by trees, including lofty eucalyptus, citrus and olive trees, while be-
low there is a small farmyard with goats, geese, ducks and at least one donkey. In a totally
